Everyone's talking about his advances on female students.
An excellent
article on that from one of his closest disciples on Sweeping Zen.

1969 interview with
Joshu Sasaki by Bob Halpern and DC at his Cimarron (sp?) Zen Center in
LA. Present also were DC's sister Susan Chadwick, translators James Yamamoto and
George Stamicci (sp?). PDF - Last page(s) missing.

I have always thought that it was I who asked the first
two questions but in the transcription the questioner is identified as Bob
Halpern. In fact I'd initially thought of myself as the only interviewer.
Not at all. Bob and I were close. Memory moves. Ego. Maybe it was Bob and not me
who said it was for the Wind Bell. We were both nervy but he was nervier
and more in your face.

Love the way Sasaki speaks affectionately about hippies. Like his
attitude in general. Lack of ambition or complicated plans. He and Suzuki
have many differences but there is a lot of overlap as well.
